I think you just like trying to cause an argument, I can't get on certain
sites because I have a problem with the internet explorer. If i *could* i
would be allowed on whatever I wanted.
You made it sound like the problem was at work. Have you checked with your
IT dept. that they allow web browsing off their network? They may not want
you to because it is not part of your job (or anyone else's there unless
they have given special allowance for just some users that have gotten
permission to web browse). If work isn't allowing you to browse then do the
browsing from home, or the library, or an Internet cafe, or at a friend's
house.
: > Secondly, I dont know my ISP, as this is off a works computer.

: Well, so why haven't you contacted your IT dept. to ask what is your
e-mail
: address? It's their computer, their resource, and their responsibility.
: Sounds like you are trying to get to an off-domain mail service and they
: don't want you to.
Wtf??? off-domain mail service, hmmm.
We dont have and IT dept.
Off-domain means off YOUR domain (i.e., the network to which you are
connected). To stem spamming and abuse, many network providers will not
allow you to connect using SMTP to some mail server that is not on their
network (i.e., you have to use THEIR mail servers). Similarly, many e-mail
providers will not allow connects to their mail servers from off-domain
(i.e., you are using one network but trying to use their mail servers which
is a different network) unless you authenticate to it (it's a setting in the
e-mail account). Service-A wants their customers using Service-A's mail
servers an only those servers so they block you getting to Service-B's mail
servers. Service-B won't let you use their mail servers when you come from
Service-A's network because they haven't a clue as to who you are (you
didn't authenticate on their network). So Service-B either refuses the
connect because, like Service-A, they only permit connects from their users
on their network, or they require that you authenticate to their mail
servers.
We don't know WHICH e-mail account you are are trying to use. You gave no
information regarding your network, how you connect, and which mail
server(s) you were trying to use. You left everyone in the dark. Could be
an off-domain account. Could be an on-domain account. If an on-domain
account, whomever is in charge of your network and mail servers should know
what is your e-mail account or can give you a new one.
If browsing is blocked then someone with network privileges is doing that,
and that referred to as your IT dept. even if it is just one person doing it
all. You can't get out using HTTP on your company's network because you are
blocked. Contact whomever setup the blocking.

:
: Where did you LOOK? Outlook Express, Tools -> Options -> Send tab ->
News
: sending format -> Plain text settings -> Indent original text. Since
the
: *default* setting is to use the ">" then you changed it at sometime.
DONE
Not so evidenced in your last post. Still seeing a ":" instead of ">".
Could be you changed it AFTER sending your last reply.
Sounds like just looking into the Outlook e-mail account definition let you
know what is you e-mail account. Note that data is user specified data.
While the mail server data must be correct to connect, the E-mail field is
whatever you put in there and may not match you actual e-mail address. That
is just data that gets put into your message (and how spammers lie about
their e-mail address). If the domain in the E-mail field matches the domain
for the POP3 and SMTP servers then the username in the E-mail field is
probably correct.
